To all the racist here.

PS1 is based on history. Not like circus movie BB with people flying using coconut trees.

BB is copy and mix of Lion king story line, lord of the rings vfx, spartans war scene. 

saying PS is crap is perfectly understandable. I don't expect the movie to be a masterpiece like Maniratnam's Iruvar. His good days are long gone.

but people are saying baahubali is good compared to this. that really cracks me up.

baahubali was basically a cringe unwatchable movie. both parts.

Its too early to say baahubali is better. the movie has not released yet. though maniratnam's period is over, i still hope that he wont' bring cringe elements like BB.

leaving source material aside, filmmaking & teaser cut for PS-1 are horrible.

the points you raised were without any context. people who read the book know why there were extensive horse riding shots, why characters were shown in quick cuts etc. why multiple shots of the palace - because they are different palaces.

about the war scenes, and cgi. yeah they were bad. but they are immaterial to the story which again tamil viewers know.

they are more excited about small things like the map showing all places in the book.. a guy peeking through the wall..  a sketch of a woman walking with a baby, two heroines facing each other, the sword with its symbols, vikram's manic war mongering and his grief.

the teaser perfectly set the story up if you ask me. in its most accessible form. They explicitly state that the prince is trying to forget a girl, and forget his grief and indulging himself in war.

I don't understand how you can breakdown a teaser beyond its stylistic and aesthetic elements when you have no access to the source it is from.

there's one particular shot of karthi that was released that perfectly captures one of the biggest mysteries of the book. Its not in the teaser, but a separate poster. Its things like that that get people excited.

if I have to read the book to get excited for teaser, then the director should stop making films...

I never compared it to source material, I just pointed out that it's incoherent for regular audiences. Tamil lo kooda antha buzz ledu. 5.1 M views in 15 hours which is like the film of a tier-2 actor. probably Tamil audiences kooda lite teesukunnaru. movie flop aina tarvatha kooda book chadivithe nachhedi, chadavaledu kabatti evariki nachhaledu antaremo 😂

incoherent ani cheppataaniki shot by shot breakdown enti? joking aa.

yeah, there are lot of trolls on the teaser in tamil, comparing it to baahubali.

I watched it with lowest expectations, so it seemed okay for me.
